Posted: 15 Feb 2021 07:09 AM PST

Sony is expected to bring the Xperia 1 III and the Xperia 10 III very soon.

Samsung Galaxy A12 in for review

Posted: 14 Feb 2021 09:54 AM PST

The Galaxy A12 is among the cheapest members of Samsung's A-series and has been a frequent feature in our trending chart since its launch in December.

And while the panel didn't get the OLED upgrade the Galaxy A12 still brings quite a few upgrades over its predecessor. For instance, there's a slight bump in the display size - up to 6.5". The Snapdragon 450 has been replaced by the...
